Bahama Mama Party Cruise




I purchased my shore excursion ticket on board Discovery Sun. They give you a telephone number that you have to call to check in with the tour opertator for a reservation and directions. I was told to go to the excursion office located in Port Lucaya Marketplace to check in about a half hour before the tour began and exchange my ticket for their ticket stub. Then they walked us to a two story boat at the Port Lucaya Marina. It happened to be the same boat and crew as the Robinson Crusoe Beach Party. We cruised slowly around the lagoon, canals and out in the ocean. For those who wanted to upgrade their excursion and opted for the steak and lobster dinner, they went to the upper part of the boat to enjoy their meal and then join the rest of the passengers downstairs. For those who decided on the regular excursion, you stayed downstairs and ate meatballs, wings, fresh cauliflower, carrots & broccoli and little finger sandwiches. All of the Bahama Mamas were free as well as red and white wine but if you wanted a beer, it costs $3.00 each. The children had lemonade. They played music and a local artist was on board selling his cds for $10.00 each. We even got to go up a canal to see the “Ghost”, the replica of the ship used in Johnny Depp’s movie, Pirates of the Caribbean. Everyone had a good time; people were dancing, drinking and the crew was very friendly.
